A powerful tool to advance climate solutions.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Mission investing is the practice of foundations that invest to advance their missions and programmatic goals while also generating financial returns that can then be reinvested.<\/div>\n

The need and the opportunity to deploy mission investments in the climate space are significant. Philanthropy can play an important role by channeling resources in ways that can catalyze and mobilize commercial capital. For foundations, which often have higher risk tolerances and can accept lower returns than other types of investors, there are ample opportunities to invest in a wide range of climate solutions around the world. Such blended finance vehicles can help accelerate capital into climate solutions\u2013kickstarting the flow of commercial capital.<\/div>\n

In partnership with India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the Hewlett, MacArthur, and Packard foundations, along with the Grantham Environmental Trust, established the U.S.\u2013India Catalytic Solar Finance Program. To support India’s goal to provide clean and reliable power while combating climate change, and its target to install 40 gigawatts of rooftop solar energy by 2022, the program supports the development of innovative financial instruments for rooftop solar energy, including mission investment in selected financial intermediaries designed to catalyze additional capital and demonstrate financial feasibility to investors.<\/p><\/div>\n
